' Inexker Utter fro Hlrasa OrisweM. The Cleveland Leathr of Saturday contains mother letter front Hon. Hiram Griswold, In .vhicb there is an attempt to confirm his pre vious false statement, l&ai we had admitted ttut Mr. Htmlln now owned or did own an in tTtat In the State intra. With our denial ol the allegation la a late oamber of the Jour nal, we bad hoped that this discussion would cease, aud that the meanness with whioh this Mr. Griswold had thought proper to adopt In refereuce o us would end; but nature will vindicate Itsell. The only portion of bis recent latter which demands our notice, Is thefollowing: In the Jattrnal of February 21. the editor produces a witness, Thomas Miller. Mr. Miller bad nrevioulv stven an affidavit on tbe sub ject, which Col. Schouler says was not correctly written, ami no tuereiore obtained another at fidavit from bim, stating what he did say In the first, and title last Is published by the Col. as the truth. From it I extract the followlnir: 41 1 stated ibat lo a conversation with Mr. Hamlin, I complained of bim lor selling his interest in the contract for keeping In repair seotion No. 2, of the Canals, in which I was interested, and paid that i wanted bim to remain in to sustain ihe contract. Ho replied that be would be as muub use In suBtaluiug it as If he had not sold. I stated that he said he had $1,000, aud was going to buy tbe Journal, and tbe Journal would sustain tbo comrade. I askud woo would edit it, be replied. Col. Schouler." If any of your raster consider this matter or controversy Between me ana ioi. ocnouier, of sufficient importance to Induce them to read U.is article, they oau judge for themselves, alter reaaing inese extracts, wbere tbe trutn lies. xours, truly, u. UKidWubU. Now mark Ihe baseness of this Senator. Ev ery reader of the above not acquainted with the facts, would suppose we bad sought from Mr. Miller an affidavit in relation to the conversa tion be is said to have had with Mr. Uamlin about tbe Siatt Journal, aud that not being such an one as we desired, toe had Induced him to give us another one more satisfactory, and that the last oue we had accepted "as ihe truth," and bad apolugiced for tbe first, that It was " not correctly written' What will an houeat man think, when wu say that we uever obtained from Mr. Miller any affidavit whatever; that wo bad no acquaintance with Mr. Mil ler until after our controversy with Griswold, and his mean and slanderous attack upon us in the secret etiu.mT Although we bad lived in Ulie same town for mauy months, we bad uever Bpuntjo to mt. Miner. No one knows better than Hiram Griswold, that the ttrst affldswit spoken of, was drawn from Mr. Miller weeks before tbe Legislature mat, not by us, but by Mr. Hamilton of tbe In vestigating Committee, and was taken without our knowledge that we never beard of such a document being In existence until the meeting ot tbe Legislature; and it was not until we spoke ol It in the jeurna In connection wlib Griswold'a slander, that even Mr. Miller knew that we knew of it, and the use which It wss put to. It was the day after the article was published beaded " The Insoleooe or Office," la whla i the notes whioh passed between Mr. Griswold aud ourMgs appeared, that we were introduced to MtT?jler. It took ptaoe to tbe State House yErtry his broiber, who is an active Republican, aud with whom we were acquainted. This Introduction was sought not by ua, but by Mr. Milter. He came, he said, to mil n that be never gave such an affidavit an we hud des- crUmd iu our article of tho previous day that be bad been urged by the Investigating Com mitten to make an affidavit of a conversation which he bad previously held with Mr. Hamlin, and finally he had consented to do It. But if there was anything lo that affidavit which re- nVoted dishonorably upon us, It bad not beeu correctly written that bis words had been ta ken down by the committee aud were not writ ten by liimsell; and to this he was willing to J leHlly. He replied, mat we wero oollged lo bint for his Information, but as we Intended to siy nothing more In the paper on the subject unless again attacked, we did not care aoout having any statement from bim In the matter. We a ked him, however, If be should be spoken to upon the sut-Ject, as he probably would bo by tnetubur and others, to say to them hat bu btd just said lo us It was Mr. Miller, the-om-mitltV own witness, who said that hlsaflUarli was not correctly writinu," uot us. We kuev not, and we cared out, whether it was correctly r incorrectly written. It was a line of busiuess In which we were nuver engaged, and hope never to he. Wu ihun separated. We never saw Mr. Miller from that moment, until February 2 1st, when be camtt Into our of Ace for the first time In his life, so far as we Know, and handed us bis statemeut and nude a request that we would publith It, wlih whioh request we complied. It was honorable lo Mr. Milter, ! w m stint ho tor j to us. This is " (he other nfll Ittvit" which Mr. Griswold says toe obtained, tu point ol fact It was no affidavit at all It was a mere stat -munt given by Mr. Miller, and not an affidavit. From this document Mr Griswold makes oue extract anit I htm leaves his i. The case iu tbe Ohio Ueporls to which have previously called attention, In which this Mr. Griswold figures, does not present him In a much worse lliht than dues tbisuew at tempt to mislead tbe public u naid to Mr Miller's statement. II Mr. Griswold had been boueet, or possessed the least sbaro of manliness, be would have quoted from the same document tbu following paragraph, which is in di reel connection with it, and which qualities and explains iu It Is io these words : I did not understand Mr. Hamlin In what he sit'd about buying the Journal, that It was lo hssIsI nr. hcufuier in any way, or mat sir, Suhouler batl any kuowlt-dgo ubout tbo con tracts, or anything of the kind, ur that Mr. Hamlin had ever spoken to Mr. .Schouler on the sutij'-ot, and that when be spoke of the $1000 lo buy the Journal, I understood bim to refer to uniting tne two papers logetner. auu assisting, lu a business point of view, his friend Mr, Gauge wer. ! Had Mr. Griswold quoied Ibis, we would have permitted bis other misrepresentations to have passed without notice, for we have no de sire to coni -ct our name with his in any way whatever. WEDNKSlsAY EVENING, MARCH It. THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH t. SbaN Blnrry Take Pessvisltn ef Oils Nation, r snail rrcesiiiBri awtr Many good-natured, Union-loving men hoped that the administration ol Buchanan would be an Improvement upon ibat of Franklin Pierce. We were not of that number. We at onetime believed that the administration of John Tyler would stand forever In tbe history of ibis country, as the worst that could be, so far as tbe rights of tbe Free States were conoemed. We were mistaken. The Slave power has Increased rap Idly evef since that time, and now It has reached a point which Is fearful to oon template. First, It rabdnedthe Executive Government; second, tbe Legislative; and now it grasps the Judiciary. The grand object ot ths oligarchs has been perfeoted. Thst uaybi ha on Slaymrt National, Freedom Sxotional. According to the recent decision of tbe Supreme Court, there Is not one foot of free territory belonging to the Union, outside of the free States. Tbe Wllmot Proviso applied to Oregon and Minnesota', has fallen lifeless to tbe earth, and slaves can now be taken there and worked, with the shield of the Federal Constitution to guard and protect their masters In tbe management of this, tbelr property. Ibo Territories have become one great slave pen. How long will U be before Ibis power will apply the same principles to tbe Slates t Colored men are now deolan d not to be citii-'oe of tbe Uul ted States, they ere outlawed from ail claims to citizenship io tbe laud of their nativity, in tbe borne of their fathers. Like the Bohemian Hag raubln, "they have no home, no country." I bey arc simply property; they are as horses and cat tle. They can be bought and sold, tut they cannot be citizens. Buchanan's Inaugural foreshadows his policy. Ills administration will carry out the "principles of the Constitution" as expounded by a slave- holding Supreme Uourt. hven tquatter sever eignty baa bad fetters pul upon its fetlocks by the Inaugural. It now means that the people of a Territory can ouly exclude slavery when they eame to make a State Constitution, nut before. Until that hour arrives, there Is oo power lo our government, or In tbe people to pievent the exteualon of tbe curse, aud when that hour arrives, they will be strong enough to have slavery acknowledged and protected. To carry out this infernal doctrine, tbe whole power of the general government during tbe admlulstrrtlon oi Buchanan wilt be brought, aud If tbe people of the free States submit to it, all is lot. But they will nut submit. From this day forth, the spirit or resistance, legal, constitutional, popular resistance wilt be organized. Eveu the must prejudiced ut the Democratic party must see that unless tbe North speaks, unites, resents, acts, in opposition to Ibis aristocracy of slaveholders, the whole gov-erument will become a mere Instrument loop-press poor, downtrodden humanity, and to cover our whole continent with slavery, as the waters cover the sea. Tux Inauguration Uaix i Wahuinuton. According to all accounts, the Inauguration Ball passed off satisfactorily, and did not terminate until 4 o'clock the next morning The new President and Vice President entered the room about 11 o'clock, aud were received with the greatest enthusiasm. Ex-President Pierce wss too unwell in be present. The crowd commenced gathering to tbe ball room about nine o'clock, and by eleven the rush and crush were at their height. Almost "everybody as Is anybody" was preseut, and notwithstanding considerable yawning, Induced by the unusual latlgue and excitement of the day, the dancing was kept up with spirit until lung after midnight. There was a One orcbes tra of forty Instruments, under Ihe lead of M Weber. To provide tor the vast crowd who took part In the terpMchoreao finale of Ihe Inauguration ceremonies, a goodly bill of provisions was needed. Among tbe Items ol the bill of fare were $:i,000 worth of wine, 400 gallons or oysters, 600 quarts ot chicken salad, 1,200 quarts ol ice cream, 500 quarts of jellies, 00 saddles of mutton, 4 ot venison, 8 rounds ol beef, 75 bams, 125 tougues, besides pates of various kinds. At the head of the table was a pyramid of cakes four feet high, with a flag ot each State and Territory, with the coat ol arms of each printed ouit. This ball resulted Io a loss of $3,000 to the managers. pvTbe Washington Star siys that Uon.

So, Mr. Speocer has ihe satisfaction of kuowiug that his services In the Buchanan csuse In this diatrlot last tall, are not appreciated either by the occupant of tbe White House, or the "nigger drivers" of the Senate, Hon. William Count. This gentleman made a speech in tbe House yesterday afternoon, in which be fore-shadowed his views of a Repub lican form of government. He Is lor abolishing the Senate, aud for having but one branch of tbe legislative department, Tbe Executive officers are to be elected by tbe Legislature from their own body, to hold seats as members and to resign when a miniate. rial measure ot their own is defeuted. Tbe office ol Governor Is to be abolished. Members are to be elected for two yeeis, one half to go out annually. Tbe people may elect who they please, whether the person live in the district or not. . These are a few of tbe reforms which Mr. Corry proposes.

It seems (bat the people of Cuyahoga county have not approved of the course of their Senator (U. Griswold,) respecting the canal contracts. e Bod In tbe Cleveland Leader ot Tuesday morning, a letter addressed to Mr. Griswold by thirteen citizens ot that place, requesting him to addrets the people of Cleveland on that proline subject. Mr, Griswold replies in a letter of a column In length, decli ning to speak, and giving as a reason, that bis views upon the subject bad been fully expressed In a speech made by bim In tbe Senate, which speech hod been published. In tbe course of tbe letter, he speaks of the frauds which have been perpetrated In various ways for a series of years upon the public Treas ury, and which no oue who bas examloed the fa;ts, can or does question; and which matters are well exposed In the speech of Mr. Buck- land a part or which we publish to-day. The following paragraph also occurs In Mr. Grls-wuld'a letter, speaking ol those who opposed the passage of Mr. Brasee's resolutions, and tbe favorable consideration which they have given to those proposed by Mr. Keltey, and the bill of Mr. Cadwell, he say i; "They 'repudlate'io us their favorite phrase as tu a part of the payments under ibe Con-tracts, and compel tbe contractors to sue tor tbe balance and reoover it if they can.

Exercising Ibe power vested in me, by tbo Constitution ol the State, to grant reprieves, commutations and pardons, I have decided, at-tar mature reflection, to commute the penalty ol death adjudged against James Summons, by tbe SupreineCourfbf Ohio, io that of lnipris oument io ttie Penitentiary for Lile. io July, 1849, tbe prisoner was arraigned upon two inJictmeuU, each of which charged the same criminal foot. Tho crime alleged against bim was murder In the first degree, committed by poisoning, wltb areeuiu, tbe tea of wblca his mother, bis father, aud other relatives, were expected to partuke at tbeir evening mel, ot which they did lo fact partake, and fiom tbe effects of whioh two members of the laniily actually died.

Upon this charge tbo prisoner was first tried In May, I&jO. when, alter au Investigation aud argument, extended Ibrough seven days, Ihe jury tailed to agree, and was discharged.

Hiram Griswold, In .vhicb there is an attempt to confirm his pre vious false statement, l&ai we had admitted ttut Mr. Htmlln now owned or did own an in tTtat In the State intra. With our denial ol the allegation la a late oamber of the Jour nal, we bad hoped that this discussion would cease, aud that the meanness with whioh this Mr. Griswold had thought proper to adopt In refereuce o us would end; but nature will vindicate Itsell. The only portion of bis recent latter which demands our notice, Is thefollowing: In the Jattrnal of February 21. the editor produces a witness, Thomas Miller. Mr. Miller bad nrevioulv stven an affidavit on tbe sub ject, which Col. Schouler says was not correctly written, ami no tuereiore obtained another at fidavit from bim, stating what he did say In the first, and title last Is published by the Col. as the truth. From it I extract the followlnir: 41 1 stated ibat lo a conversation with Mr. Hamlin, I complained of bim lor selling his interest in the contract for keeping In repair seotion No. 2, of the Canals, in which I was interested, and paid that i wanted bim to remain in to sustain ihe contract. Ho replied that be would be as muub use In suBtaluiug it as If he had not sold. I stated that he said he had $1,000, aud was going to buy tbe Journal, and tbe Journal would sustain tbo comrade. I askud woo would edit it, be replied. Col. Schouler." If any of your raster consider this matter or controversy Between me ana ioi. ocnouier, of sufficient importance to Induce them to read U.is article, they oau judge for themselves, alter reaaing inese extracts, wbere tbe trutn lies. xours, truly, u. UKidWubU. Now mark Ihe baseness of this Senator. Ev ery reader of the above not acquainted with the facts, would suppose we bad sought from Mr. Miller an affidavit in relation to the conversa tion be is said to have had with Mr. Uamlin about tbe Siatt Journal, aud that not being such an one as we desired, toe had Induced him to give us another one more satisfactory, and that the last oue we had accepted "as ihe truth," and bad apolugiced for tbe first, that It was " not correctly written' What will an houeat man think, when wu say that we uever obtained from Mr. Miller any affidavit whatever; that wo bad no acquaintance with Mr. Mil ler until after our controversy with Griswold, and his mean and slanderous attack upon us in the secret etiu.mT Although we bad lived in Ulie same town for mauy months, we bad uever Bpuntjo to mt. Miner. No one knows better than Hiram Griswold, that the ttrst affldswit spoken of, was drawn from Mr. Miller weeks before tbe Legislature mat, not by us, but by Mr. Hamilton of tbe In vestigating Committee, and was taken without our knowledge that we never beard of such a document being In existence until the meeting ot tbe Legislature; and it was not until we spoke ol It in the jeurna In connection wlib Griswold'a slander, that even Mr. Miller knew that we knew of it, and the use which It wss put to. It was the day after the article was published beaded " The Insoleooe or Office," la whla i the notes whioh passed between Mr. Griswold aud ourMgs appeared, that we were introduced to MtT?jler. It took ptaoe to tbe State House yErtry his broiber, who is an active Republican, aud with whom we were acquainted. This Introduction was sought not by ua, but by Mr. Milter. He came, he said, to mil n that be never gave such an affidavit an we hud des- crUmd iu our article of tho previous day that be bad been urged by the Investigating Com mitten to make an affidavit of a conversation which he bad previously held with Mr. Hamlin, and finally he had consented to do It. But if there was anything lo that affidavit which re- nVoted dishonorably upon us, It bad not beeu correctly written that bis words had been ta ken down by the committee aud were not writ ten by liimsell; and to this he was willing to J leHlly. He replied, mat we wero oollged lo bint for his Information, but as we Intended to siy nothing more In the paper on the subject unless again attacked, we did not care aoout having any statement from bim In the matter. We a ked him, however, If be should be spoken to upon the sut-Ject, as he probably would bo by tnetubur and others, to say to them hat bu btd just said lo us It was Mr. Miller, the-om-mitltV own witness, who said that hlsaflUarli was not correctly writinu," uot us. We kuev not, and we cared out, whether it was correctly r incorrectly written. It was a line of busiuess In which we were nuver engaged, and hope never to he. Wu ihun separated. We never saw Mr. Miller from that moment, until February 2 1st, when be camtt Into our of Ace for the first time In his life, so far as we Know, and handed us bis statemeut and nude a request that we would publith It, wlih whioh request we complied. It was honorable lo Mr. Milter, ! w m stint ho tor j to us. This is " (he other nfll Ittvit" which Mr. Griswold says toe obtained, tu point ol fact It was no affidavit at all It was a mere stat -munt given by Mr. Miller, and not an affidavit. From this document Mr Griswold makes oue extract anit I htm leaves his i. The case iu tbe Ohio Ueporls to which have previously called attention, In which this Mr. Griswold figures, does not present him In a much worse lliht than dues tbisuew at tempt to mislead tbe public u naid to Mr Miller's statement. II Mr. Griswold had been boueet, or possessed the least sbaro of manliness, be would have quoted from the same document tbu following paragraph, which is in di reel connection with it, and which qualities and explains iu It Is io these words : I did not understand Mr. Hamlin In what he sit'd about buying the Journal, that It was lo hssIsI nr. hcufuier in any way, or mat sir, Suhouler batl any kuowlt-dgo ubout tbo con tracts, or anything of the kind, ur that Mr. Hamlin had ever spoken to Mr. .Schouler on the sutij'-ot, and that when be spoke of the $1000 lo buy the Journal, I understood bim to refer to uniting tne two papers logetner. auu assisting, lu a business point of view, his friend Mr, Gauge wer. ! Had Mr. Griswold quoied Ibis, we would have permitted bis other misrepresentations to have passed without notice, for we have no de sire to coni -ct our name with his in any way whatever. WEDNKSlsAY EVENING, MARCH It. THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH t. SbaN Blnrry Take Pessvisltn ef Oils Nation, r snail rrcesiiiBri awtr Many good-natured, Union-loving men hoped that the administration ol Buchanan would be an Improvement upon ibat of Franklin Pierce. We were not of that number. We at onetime believed that the administration of John Tyler would stand forever In tbe history of ibis country, as the worst that could be, so far as tbe rights of tbe Free States were conoemed. We were mistaken. The Slave power has Increased rap Idly evef since that time, and now It has reached a point which Is fearful to oon template. First, It rabdnedthe Executive Government; second, tbe Legislative; and now it grasps the Judiciary. The grand object ot ths oligarchs has been perfeoted. Thst uaybi ha on Slaymrt National, Freedom Sxotional. According to the recent decision of tbe Supreme Court, there Is not one foot of free territory belonging to the Union, outside of the free States. Tbe Wllmot Proviso applied to Oregon and Minnesota', has fallen lifeless to tbe earth, and slaves can now be taken there and worked, with the shield of the Federal Constitution to guard and protect their masters In tbe management of this, tbelr property. Ibo Territories have become one great slave pen. How long will U be before Ibis power will apply the same principles to tbe Slates t Colored men are now deolan d not to be citii-'oe of tbe Uul ted States, they ere outlawed from ail claims to citizenship io tbe laud of their nativity, in tbe borne of their fathers. Like the Bohemian Hag raubln, "they have no home, no country." I bey arc simply property; they are as horses and cat tle. They can be bought and sold, tut they cannot be citizens. Buchanan's Inaugural foreshadows his policy. Ills administration will carry out the "principles of the Constitution" as expounded by a slave- holding Supreme Uourt. hven tquatter sever eignty baa bad fetters pul upon its fetlocks by the Inaugural. It now means that the people of a Territory can ouly exclude slavery when they eame to make a State Constitution, nut before. Until that hour arrives, there Is oo power lo our government, or In tbe people to pievent the exteualon of tbe curse, aud when that hour arrives, they will be strong enough to have slavery acknowledged and protected. To carry out this infernal doctrine, tbe whole power of the general government during tbe admlulstrrtlon oi Buchanan wilt be brought, aud If tbe people of the free States submit to it, all is lot. But they will nut submit. From this day forth, the spirit or resistance, legal, constitutional, popular resistance wilt be organized. Eveu the must prejudiced ut the Democratic party must see that unless tbe North speaks, unites, resents, acts, in opposition to Ibis aristocracy of slaveholders, the whole gov-erument will become a mere Instrument loop-press poor, downtrodden humanity, and to cover our whole continent with slavery, as the waters cover the sea. Tux Inauguration Uaix i Wahuinuton. According to all accounts, the Inauguration Ball passed off satisfactorily, and did not terminate until 4 o'clock the next morning The new President and Vice President entered the room about 11 o'clock, aud were received with the greatest enthusiasm. Ex-President Pierce wss too unwell in be present. The crowd commenced gathering to tbe ball room about nine o'clock, and by eleven the rush and crush were at their height. Almost "everybody as Is anybody" was preseut, and notwithstanding considerable yawning, Induced by the unusual latlgue and excitement of the day, the dancing was kept up with spirit until lung after midnight. There was a One orcbes tra of forty Instruments, under Ihe lead of M Weber. To provide tor the vast crowd who took part In the terpMchoreao finale of Ihe Inauguration ceremonies, a goodly bill of provisions was needed. Among tbe Items ol the bill of fare were $:i,000 worth of wine, 400 gallons or oysters, 600 quarts ot chicken salad, 1,200 quarts ol ice cream, 500 quarts of jellies, 00 saddles of mutton, 4 ot venison, 8 rounds ol beef, 75 bams, 125 tougues, besides pates of various kinds. At the head of the table was a pyramid of cakes four feet high, with a flag ot each State and Territory, with the coat ol arms of each printed ouit. This ball resulted Io a loss of $3,000 to the managers. pvTbe Washington Star siys that Uon.

It seems (bat the people of Cuyahoga county have not approved of the course of their Senator (U. Griswold,) respecting the canal contracts. e Bod In tbe Cleveland Leader ot Tuesday morning, a letter addressed to Mr. Griswold by thirteen citizens ot that place, requesting him to addrets the people of Cleveland on that proline subject. Mr, Griswold replies in a letter of a column In length, decli ning to speak, and giving as a reason, that bis views upon the subject bad been fully expressed In a speech made by bim In tbe Senate, which speech hod been published. In tbe course of tbe letter, he speaks of the frauds which have been perpetrated In various ways for a series of years upon the public Treas ury, and which no oue who bas examloed the fa;ts, can or does question; and which matters are well exposed In the speech of Mr. Buck- land a part or which we publish to-day. The following paragraph also occurs In Mr. Grls-wuld'a letter, speaking ol those who opposed the passage of Mr. Brasee's resolutions, and tbe favorable consideration which they have given to those proposed by Mr. Keltey, and the bill of Mr. Cadwell, he say i; "They 'repudlate'io us their favorite phrase as tu a part of the payments under ibe Con-tracts, and compel tbe contractors to sue tor tbe balance and reoover it if they can.

Exercising Ibe power vested in me, by tbo Constitution ol the State, to grant reprieves, commutations and pardons, I have decided, at-tar mature reflection, to commute the penalty ol death adjudged against James Summons, by tbe SupreineCourfbf Ohio, io that of lnipris oument io ttie Penitentiary for Lile. io July, 1849, tbe prisoner was arraigned upon two inJictmeuU, each of which charged the same criminal foot. Tho crime alleged against bim was murder In the first degree, committed by poisoning, wltb areeuiu, tbe tea of wblca his mother, bis father, aud other relatives, were expected to partuke at tbeir evening mel, ot which they did lo fact partake, and fiom tbe effects of whioh two members of the laniily actually died. The cblel witness against him was tbe ser vaut girl, who prepared the tea; and It is onu-oeded on every band Ihat without her lust into ny no oouvlotion cuuld have been bad. Upon this charge tbo prisoner was first tried In May, I&jO. when, alter au Investigation aud argument, extended Ibrough seven days, Ihe jury tailed to agree, and was discharged. He was bgaio put ou his trial be lore another jury, and sgalu,on the lirst of June, KWO, alter ten dtyt devoted to the examination, tbe jury failed to aree, and was again discharged. At these two trials the servant girl, Mary Clinch, appeared aud ttsl tiled. Before the third trial dbe died. In April, 1851, the prisoner was trie 1 for Ibe third lime. Tbe testimony or Mary Clinoh was supplied by a witness, who undertook to give it from memory, aided by notes taken at the former trials The jury agaiu disagreed, aud waa ag.ain uiscisrgiiu. Iu April. 1H,'2. the lourih trial took Dluoe. The testimony of Mary Clinch waa supplied in tne same mauner as before, in trial resulted In conviction, and sentence ol death was oro- nuunced upou Ihe prisoner, to be executed on t e third ol February, 1Ho3. The verdict ul the jury was accompanied by a recommendation to Exicutivu clemency. From tlii bu ule oue an appe.il was taken by Writ uf Krror, to the Supreme Uotii tol the State; and execution was suspended uulll final bearing mid oider. Tlio ground ol reversal, mainly relied upon, was the allegation thai the District Court erred in permitting tbe testimony of Mary Clinch lo be given to ibe jury from memory, by any witnets, and especially by the actual witness in ibis case who was alleged to bu legally uoonipeteiit. me grave auu i in nor t ant questions thus pre-rented to tbe Court, havu uudeiuoiie reueated di-ouwious, during the period ul neaily llvo years which baa ehtUHed liuce tbu ci.nvluLmii. During that period, lour ol tbu rive judges who occupied seats upou the Supreme Bench at its commencement, have resigned aud have beeu succeeded by others. Hy the Court, as formerly constituted, aud by the Court as now constituted, these questions have been anxiously and critically considered, and always without arriving at a unanimous UCCIflOU, Twice, I have been Informed, has a maioritv ol the Court determined to reverse tbo judgment against tbe prisoner; twioe bas this determiua tiou been recalled; and Anally, by a majority of uiirtfuugea, auu against tne earnest utseeut Of one, tne sentence uas beeu atUrmed. Darine all this time the orisoner has stead- lastly protested bis innocence; and bis father and bis mother, who partook ol tbe poisoned beverage, but survived, solemnly declare the r u rm ouiier mat ne never oommttted tbe cnuie alleged agilnst him. It is represented to me by officers and citi zens of Hamilton county, whose statements command my Implicit credence, and especially by the late Coroner of ihe county, and by tbe physician of tbo jail, that tbe intellect and the general health of the uulortunate prisoner have been so seriously Impaired by frequent nttaoks of epilepsy, as well as by former vicious habits, that he is iucapable of properly comprehending the awful nature of his present circumstances; II, iudeed, he can now be lairly regarded as an ac:ouutabe betas.
